How long after earthquake p-waves and s-waves be apart


Earthquakes make two circular waves, p-waves and s-waves, that travel outwards. p-waves travels faster, but usually s-waves do most damage. Assume p-waves have the velocity of 3.6 miles per second and s-waves have the velocity of 1.8 miles per second. How long after earthquake will p-waves and s-waves be 80 miles apart?
